Communication between TEC and Unitec New Zealand regarding termination of Unitec's osteopathy programme
M D Stewarrt made this Official Information request to Tertiary Education Commission
The request was successful.
From: M D Stewarrt
Dear Tertiary Education Commission,
Previous OIA requests to Unitec indicated that there was no consultation between Unitec and the staff, students or industry association groups in deciding to close and teach out the Osteopathy programme; at the time, the only programme graduating students to register with the Osteopathic Council of New Zealand.
This request is for any correspondence between Unitec New Zealand and TEC or reports generated by TEC regarding the closure of the programme, the proposal transfer of the programme to AUT, and consultation correspondence between TEC and relevant osteopathy industry groups.
Yours faithfully,
M D Stewart
